CREEDS.

Here is a sally at the principal creedS
from the Brooklyn Eagle that hits all
around in religious way:
"Disheartened missionary (returning to
his field after years of absence). Oh, un-
happy man, you have lapsed into error
and darkness and paganism again! Chief
Heather (apologetically)-Well, you see,
after you went away Catholic mission
ary came along and told us the had place
was full of Methodists and so he scared US
into his communion, and then he went
avav and Presbyterian came along and
walked us on regeneration, adoption and
election, and we joined his church; then
an Episcopalian came and we burned our
Westministers and stocked up on prayer
books, then he left and Baptist landed
and walked us into the water and baptiz-
ed US right, and we'd just about got set
tied when q new Congregationalist came
over and told US that SO long as we were
beathens we had dead sure thing on 60
ing to heaven, but if we became Chris
tians we had to walk mighty straight or
90 to the everlasting bonfire. So we ate
him up, buried our bibles, and resumed
business at the old stand. Boys, put the
parson in the cage and fatten him for
next Christmas.

For assistance in the Office during
the past two weeks when dsappOint-

thanks to Messrs. S. fl and T. j. David

met at Oak Hill Cemetery
near the residence of D. M. Turney, six
miles east of Evening Shade, and by put

almost unprotected. The grounds were
nicely cleaned off, the graves retilled and
head and foot pieces put to every mound,

cause our deoorous forefathers and moth
ers to raise from their graves.

ORDINANCE OF SECESSION.
A Minnesota Postmaster Asks The
VIRGINIA Authorities How
Much They Will Pay For
the Restoration Of a
Long-Lost Doou
ment.

Richmond, Va, May 21.-Soon
after the occupation of Richmond
by the Federal army in April, 1855
the Ordinance of Secession mystic
rlously disappeared from the State
House and was never heard of until
a few days ago. A letter has been
received here from the postmaster
of a Minnesota village, IN which he
says he has in his control the Origi-
nal Ordinance of Secession, passed
by Virginia, and inquiries how much
the authorities will pay for it. The
postmaster does not say that he has
possession of the paper, button the
other hand intimates that it belongs
to the widow Of Federal soldier.
1t is understood that Gov, Fitzhugh
Lee will write to the Postmaster
General, apprising him of these
facts and asking that officer to do
what he can to see that the Min
nesoia postmaster restores this valu
able document to the Virginia au~
thorities.

Save The Boys.


Like Dives in the depths Of hell,
I can not break this dreadful spell,
Nor quench the fire I've madIy nursed,
Nor quell this dreadful raging thirst.
Take back your pledge, you've come to
late,
You can not save me from my fate,
Nor bring me back departed joys,
But YOU can try to save the boys.
You bid me break my fiery chain
And rise and be man again.
When every street with snares IS spread
And nets of sin where'er l tread.
No! must reap as did SOW,
The seeds of sin bring crops of woe.
But with my latest breath I'll crave
That you will try the boys to save.
These biood-shot eyes were once SO bright
This sin cursed heart was glad and light,
But by the wine cups rudy glow
I traced a path to shame and woe;
A captive to my CALLING chain,
l tried to rise but tried in vain,
The cup ai:uaes and then destroys,
Oh, from its thraldom save the boys.
Take from your streets these trars of hell.
Into whose guided sn ares fell,
Oh, freemen, from those foul decoys
Arise and vote to save the boys;
And ye who license men to trade
In draughts that charm and then degrade
Before you hear the cry, toe late!
Oh, save the boys from my sad fate.

Mail Robbery.

As the mail carrier, James Curry
was returning Monday evening from
Savannah, he was confronted at the
Stanley bridge by man with
mask upon his face and a revolver
in his hand, who demanded the mail
bags. Young Mr. Curry compre-
hending the situation, did not argue
the case with the gentleman, but
surrendered the bags with proper
haste. He was told to proceed OF
his journey, and he proceeded un-
der the muzzle of a heavy pistol
which the masked man held upon
him for some distance. He then
took the mail bags and scampered
away to the bushes that grew upon
the bank of the creek. Search was
made next dav, and the bags found
some twenty steps below the bridge,
having been cut open and the reg
istered packages removed. The
amount of money distracted was
something above 5000. The prin-
cipal part of the money beIonge to

WE NEED THEM.

A great many hard things are said
about the non-producing classes;
that IS, those who do not produce
wealth by cultivating thesoil. The
truth is that these non-producers
give wealth to the producers. The
more people we have, the more food
and clothing IS needed And the
greater the demand, the higher the
prices. If there were no people TO
be clothed and ted except those
who produce cotton, wool, and edi-
bles, we would fiEd nobody to sell
to; consequently we would get no
money tor what we produce.
Suppose we had in our midst city
like the city Of London whose streets
aggre gate length of 1900 miles,
and whose population is 1000, 600
of people, couldn't we readily dis
pose Of everything We could raise?
w ny, the people o. dardeman Co.,
feed them-to leave out the
Of material to clothe
them.
To give some idea of what we could
sell-the city OF London eats every
year 400, 900 oxen; 1900, 900 sheep.
8, 100000 chickens; so, 900 calves;
hogs; 50O,O0OOOO, oys'r and
many other kinds offish than oysters.
Now, when we think of millions of
pounds and millions Of bushels of
that are consumed, we
.an only think-what n blessing
such a market would be to rs.
